WELCOME TO ROCCO MORETTO VFW POST 2348

Long Island City Veterans of Foreign Wars

Rocco Moretto VFW Post 2348 has a rich and storied history, deeply intertwined with the communities of Queens, New York. Originally established in the vibrant neighborhood of Long Island City, the post served as a crucial hub for veterans, offering camaraderie, support, and a dedicated space for community engagement.

As the urban landscape evolved, so did the needs and demographics of the area. The post's location eventually saw a rezoning, leading to its relocation and continued service within the neighboring community of Astoria. This transition allowed VFW Post 2348 to adapt while maintaining its core mission of supporting veterans and contributing to the local fabric.

Today, VFW Post 2348 continues its vital work in LIC, Astoria, Sunnyside, Woodside, Ditmars, and Queens general area upholding the VFW's broader commitment to advocacy, community service, and honoring the sacrifices of our nation's heroes. Its enduring presence reflects the resilience and dedication of its members.

IN-COUNTRY

A satirical reflection by Author/Artist Phil Fehrenbacher

Phil enlisted in the Army in 1965 where you served for years in Vietnam. He became a graphic designer and has worked for the state of Oregon for 26 years. He retired in 2003 and started the Cartoon "In-Country". The cartoons reflect his experiences during his tour of duty in South Vietnam.

There is a new cartoon everyday.
